Subject: ANN: pyven-1.0.2 - userland filesystems in python

ftp://people.redhat.com/sopwith/pyven-1.0.2.tar.gz

This module makes it easier to write a filesystem in Python, using the
kernel<->venus interface of the coda filesystem module to handle VFS calls
in userland.

Currently only tested on Linux. Port to *BSD should be near trivial,
Solaris is doable, Windows is theoretically possible.

Flames, patches, comments to me. Flames about "writing a filesystem in
python is stupid" to /dev/null, I'm not proposing writing ext4 in it... :)

Nice!

What do you want to use this for? tar? ftp? Something completely different?

ext5? ;-)))))
